You clearly haven't tried XFCE4 yet!
Awful, AWFUL, I tell ya...
(xfce4-mixer-plugin continuously uses up to 3% CPU, xfce4-menu-plugin
fully occupies the CPU at random but frequent times, and other plugins
are also bug-documented to use too much CPU, and this on a newish Atom)

One has heard people complain after the XFCE3 -> 4 change about 4 being
bloatware, but now I finally can fully relate to that.

I will abandon XFCE not tomorrow but rather today if possible (pekwm,
icewm or some such).

This is absolute BLOATWARE that has been unheard of during decades in
earlier Linux times.
